EZLN

Speaking for the EZLN, Comandanta Esther addressed the Congress of the Union in March, 2001, in the San Lazaro Legislative Palace, Mexico City.
“My voice” –she said– “did not come to ask for charity. My voice came to ask for justice, liberty and democracy for the Indian peoples. My voice demanded, and demands, the constitutional recognition of our rights and our culture.”
